The choice of grab type is of significant influence on your productivity, unloading process and possible savings on the use of expensive trimming equipment. Most important hoewever: enhanced safety of your people; less trimming equipment in the hold, means improved safety for your people.

For handling Wood Pellets, the Nemag clamshell grab will be the preferred choice: environmentally friendly and closed shells with high payload and low deadweight will do the job perfectly.

For handling wood chips the NEMAG cactus grab can be choose. This will however also lead to relative high trimming costs during the intermediate and final stage of unloading. Cactus grabs of up to 55 cbm have been supplied and are in operation.
